Introducing Lyla Joy Eyre

Born June 30, 2008. 7lbs 8oz. 20 inches long. 7:19AM

Here she is! Absolutely magnificent.
This is my favorite picture of my girls. I am a lucky man!

Look at this shot Josh took!

Can you believe she gave birth about 5 minutes before this was taken!
Look at that newborn chunk!


A family of 4!!

McKay was very sweet with his little sister. Totally soft and very gentle. He was just quietly in awe of her. We'll see how long that lasts!

Lyla's reaction to her older brother:
Tal snapped this shot of McKay counting her toes (he counted them over and over.. pretty cute)

What tender pictures. And how come, all of a sudden, McKay looks so big?! Like he's grown up a lot in the last couple months... just in time to be the Big Brother!

Glad to hear all is well! Congratulations again.

Tears. Seriously. Streaming down my cheeks. The birth of a little one is quite literally a glimpse into heaven. Her name is everything she is: joy filled and lovely.

Allie said...

She is so dang cute! I love her chubiness! McKay is precious counting her toes. He will make such a sweet big brother, he is so gentle, and we all know how much Braden loves him, so he is already a natural. Kristi, you are glowing and look so amazing. Wish we could see her right now! Congrats!

Abby said...

Congrats on such happy news--and very close to my heart right now, as we just experienced the same joy (although the mom wasn't nearly as pretty right after :) Happy babying! She is beautiful. p.s. if you had her that early in the morning, were you in labor all night, or did it go super fast? Just curious.

You guys are the perfect little family! I hope you are adjusting to life with a little one again! My youngest is 2 now and I still don't sleep through the night! It's my own sleeping problems, not just the kids that keep me up! Hope you are both doing well.
